This is the first challenge I have ever participated in!
So, I started deg a Oracle Deck based on the Petit Lenormand. I used poster board, designed each depiction in pencil, and then traced my work in pen. So far this has been a four hour process and I am not even a quarter of the way finished! Also sidenote I am not an artist, so this has been difficult to find depictions that I have drawn that resonate with me and let's be honest- that I can be proud of when using the deck in front of others :wink: So I kept it really simple which turns out has been a very nice change from most oracles I have. It also has been symbolic that while Tarot goes very poetic and in depth and a single card can be an entire reading, this deck is very blunt and linear and to the point. Like my art due to my limited skills.
I have been a tarot reader for about twenty years now. I love all divination but cards, especially tarot, are my bag, baby. I have wanted a Lenormand oracle for quite some time so I figured, why not let's do this. I am also constructing a playing card deck, though it only entailed writing on them so this was more fitting. I will post in the future on the playing card deck.
To cleanse my decks, I prefer incense or putting oil very lightly on my hands and gently shuffling them. I have also left them out under a full moon but the two prior are my personal favorites. I really look forward to finishing and learning the unique language this style uses in divining.
So, if there are anymore questions pop em in the comments and here are some photographs of my deck in progress. All images are my own and all art is my own as well.
